WE LOOK AT THE WORLD TO SEE THE EARTH We look at the world to see the earth, at the silver, pedestal-ed globe to see the grounds, we see what we've done with it, what it has to do with, we see our face bent to a surface; but what of the world is seen in looking at the earth any more than the world's measure of minute to a rock looking, but seeing gets a return, begets return gets returned: the rivers come back, the salmon We look upon the world to see ourselves in the brief moment that we are of the earth: a small fern in a crevice of the cliff face to see ourselves in the brief moment that we are of the earth to see the earth before the end of the world the world is mortality, the earth goes beyond us is the ours of cosmos is our hour of cosmos (Ed Roberson)
